One-button wireless setup

Just like the rest of the Sonos family, the Sonos SUB is a breeze to get up and running. Place the SUB in the room where you want more bass from your compatible Sonos component and press the button. The SUB connects to other Sonos players wirelessly, just like that. And because it doesn't need a wired connection to your speakers or the Sonos player, you can place the SUB just about anywhere in your room.

Sonos Sub Reviews

Great addition to any Sonos speaker

This is a great addition to any Sonos speaker. We now have three and they added great depth to all three different set-ups. The Playbar, set of Play:1 & a Connect AMP that's powering a pair of NHT bookshelf speakers.

Sonos Sub

Having to deal with a room with high ceilings, I paired the Sub with a set of Play 5's and it provided that extra amount of punch and drive the room needed. Setup and pairing as with all Sonos products was easy.

Quality Sound in a Quality Shell

The sound quality of this sub is superb for this price range. Add to that the fact it has a robust wifi connection (no wires needed), strong construction with its mass well distributed to prevent undesirable resonances, and great versatility to be transported and placed where it fits best in a room.

Sonos Sub

Sonos makes great products; I couldn't be happier with them. Our previous home theater setup was with a Bose system, and I've found Sonos to be easier to work with (and add to) in addition to equal (if not better) audio performance. Highest recommendation.

Sonos Subwoofer

I thought the bass coming from my Play1s sounded pretty good but after reading the reviews on the Sonos subwoofer i decided to go for it. Wow!! What a difference it makes! You will definitely have to go into the Sonos app and lower the bass a notch or two. You will be glad you purchased this subwoofer!!

Solid Bass

Easy to set up, attractive appearance. Bass is palpable. Music has firm foundation. I leave loudness switched off, even at low volume, as there is adequate bass. (Have in corner of room). Over the years(>50), I've had several different subs. This is the best. Also, there is subtle improvement of midrange/treble.
Makes a great addition to my Sonos system( two paired Sonos One's). Use only for music. Easy for my wife to use the Sonos with Alexa control.

Sonos Sub

Sounds great. Very clean and deep bass with no rattle- Justifies the price. Set up very easy with my Beam. Tried other sound bar systems and this is by far the best. Had to re-sync with our Beam only once for some unknown reason but no other glitches.

Decent addition, adds depth

Used only for music, the Sonos 5 had very tight bass but it didn't go way down in freq. After adding the small and heavy sub I had to turn the bass control up a couple of notches. It adds deeper and more volume for true bass lovers . Though it adds what we used to call "Jukebox Bass", a boomy not very tight sound. Rock and many other styles sound better with it. Jazz doesn't. Other reviews have said similarly that the Sonos 5 by themselves are surprisingly adequate. Still will keep. I like bass, have a Buttkicker module and thoroughly enjoy the earthquake sound. Would I buy again? Yes.
-got a scratch and dent model with a discount, makes the price more palatable.

Sonos Sub

Great all around sub. Sound is spectacular and the Sonos app controls everything. This sub is part of a 5.1 sonos using the play 1 as surround speakers.I use echo dot to control. The sonos app is a bit quirky and hard to nav but doable.
Almost got the sonos system 5 years ago. Went with bose instead. Nothing against bose products but the sonos system sounds amazing. If I could give 6 stars I would.

Pros:The surround sound is so good, it will fool ya.

Cons:Sonos app need some work.
Wish I bought these 5 years ago.

Perfect

Love this Sonos subwoofer with a pair of 5s. Looks great. Sounds great. Strong. Solid. Perfect.
Just be sure to immediately dig into the Sonos app to customize the bass level. The default was too low for my taste. After a quick adjustment, the walls now shake exactly as desired.

Foundational Bass for My Sonos Audio System

I purchased my Sonos Sub from Crutchfield as a "Scratch and Dent" sale item. Well, I was reluctant at first considering it's a "scratch and dent". However knowing Crutchfield's reputation, I took a leap of faith and bought it.
Well, when it arrived I meticulously examined the sub and could not find ANY "scratch and dent" anywhere on the sub! The sub is perfect like brand new! The only "scratch and dent" I found was on the original Sonos box: A small crack in the box about 1.5 inches long.
I use the sub in conjunction with a stereo pair of Play 1's mounted on Sanus stands. Suffice it to say, this system is the EASIEST and most MUSICAL wireless audio system I've experienced! I belong to a local Audiophile Society so I've heard audio system's ranging from $5,000 to $500,000 and can exclaim my Sonos setup is the most fun listening to! And, it earns the highest WAF (wife acceptance factor). (smile)
My friend spent thousands of $$$ on another wireless audiophile system, and couldn't' even figure out how to connect the WiFi! He sold the system without even listening to it. He heard my Sonos rig and said: "That's what I need!"
If you're on the "wireless audio fence" and trying to decide which way to go, I must say the Sonos gear is the best wireless system available. Considering sound quality, user interface, and customer support; Nobody beats Sonos!

Pros:- Stylish white gloss finish with unique shape.
- Deep bass that aligns perfectly with the rest of my Sonos equipment.
- Beautiful and clever packaging with easy to understand instructions.
- EXCELLENT customer and tech support from Sonos.
- So simple to set up and get running.
- Great online resources and instructions for customizing the Sub.
- Fantastic Sonos Community (Forum) to get advice from others.

Cons:- Noticed only one: iPad Sonos App needed deleted and reinstalled for an update to take. That's it! It only happened once...

Great sound, great design, great app. Worth every penny.

I bought this as part of a home theater system that includes a Playbar, a SUB and two PLAY: 1 surround speakers. The whole system sounds terrific. Setting up and tweaking the system are made easy by the SONOS app. Plus, stuff they didn't tell me: I can control my iTunes music library (Imported CDs) and streaming radio stations using the app. I have so much more flexibility than I did with a home theater system than was built around a tuner-amplifier and wired speakers. My only problem was in set up: because my router is on another floor and at the furthest part of the house, the WIFI signal was intermittent. I solved this problem by installing my neighbor's BRIDGE. The system has been flawless since.

Superb deep bass, great addition to the Sonos Sub and Play 1

Sonos Sound bar and Sonos:1 combo is good quality sound! But with the addition of the Sonos Sub, look for no more. This is one great addition to the system. Deep bass and clear sound with TV and / or music. Love it so much!

Pros:Deep bass
Superb Sound when integrated with Sonos Bar and Play
Easy Setup

Cons:No cons

Sono Buono

Our Subwoofer is a Percussion Portal that is capable of delivering an unparalleled level of bottom. And when you require that extra Fullness, well, say not more.
This Subwoofer is remarkable. It truly meets the benchmark.

Very Nice

Spendy, but not nearly as spendy as the subwoofer I bought in the late 1980s... And sounds better. Even after the old subwoofer was refoamed, tuned up and brought into the present. So I will shortly be back to one subwoofer, and it won't be old...
Adds a nice clean bass to the system, noticeable when you should notice it and not when you shouldn't.

Excellent Addition

I went back and forth on whether or not to get this sub to accompany my playbase. I am so glad I decided to add the sub. The bass is perfect for my living room. It adds just the right amount of bass to music, movies, and tv. I am very pleased with my purchase.

Easy setup with awesome sound!

I recently received my order for the Sonos Playbar 5.1 Surround system. I really couldn't be happier with the performance! Setup of the entire system was a breeze. The Sonos App is a refinement that simplifies the entire process and also integrates nicely with your music streaming service provider. Everything you need to manage your entire system from start to finish is in one place. I was so impressed with the well thought out hardware / software integration. Whether listening to music or watching your favorite TV shows, this system sounds fantastic!

Sonos Sub

Added this piece to a surround sound group with a playbase and two play 5s. Fabulous sound. We have an open floor plan and cathedral ceilings. We went from the tv speaker to this. What an improvement. Definitely not too much for our room.

Perfect solution to sound around the house!

This piece was icing on the cake! I wanted a system for music in the house that was streamed from the Internet. I hadn't heard of Sonos before I called an advisor at Crutchfield. So, we talked about the options like DAC vs. Sonos and the Sonos app. I chose Sonos since the amplifier and network were established by the Sonos pieces. I purchased 2 Sonos 1 speakers, the Sonos SUB, and the Sonos Boost.
Yes, expensive investment. So far, worth every penny of it.
My conventional sound system was NAD and B&W loudspeakers. Frankly, I've lost enough hearing that being an audiophile wasn't much fun anymore. My hearing aids distort sound around 3000Hz or so, and it's just too hard to program a "natural" setting. That definitely entered the equation for choosing Sonos. Don't get me wrong ... nothing about the Sonos system is cheap or poor sounding. In fact, it sounds great! Best of all, I can now spread speaker throughout the house, have different Internet streams running several sets of speakers, and control it all by way of an app on my smartphone or computer. Awesome!!!

Pros:Great sound! System works well grouped together. Used the Boost to form another network that didn't require my home WiFi. Less interference on all counts.

Cons:Setup was more difficult than I had imagined. I started with the setup process via a smartphone app. Should have just downloaded the app for my Mac laptop and started there. Much simpler and straightforward.

Pretty, pretty good.

Not very impressed when I initially hooked it up. I couldn't hear much difference in my pair of Play 5s (Gen 2). Then I made slight (30%) adjustments to the EQ and Sub settings. That added the extra bass that was missing. You are not going to shake the earth with this Sub if you keep it to reasonable setting adjustments and volume. The Sonos sub does provide an extra sound dimension to the 5s. Is it worth it? It's probably not critical if you have a pair of 5s. Any other combos, yes.

Great enhancement!

Wow what a difference! Purchased the Sonos Soundbar months ago as I didn't want to crank up the surround system for all of our tv viewing. The soundbar did exactly what I had hoped and was a huge improvement over the Panasonic plasma stock speakers. I decided to add the sub on a whim and have been extremely happy I did. The adjustments provided on the Sonos app allow me to cater each source appropriately with little effort. Listening to any type of music genre is also dramatically better. What a well thought out and well built audio enhancement for video viewing. So glad I made the purchase!

Pros:Rounds out the audio performance.

Cons:A little pricey, but well worth it.

The Sonos Sub

Pros:This really enhanced my fantastic Sonos system. A classical and jazz music fan, I wasn't prepared for the authentic sound of a symphonic bass drum that rattled my living room. Wow! The Sub is a must-have for an audiophile!

Awesome bass! Makes my system whole.

The Sonos Sub pretty much completes my Sonos system. Whole-house music has been a lifelong dream, and with my seven speakers that has been accomplished. The Sonos Sub greatly enhances my television viewing, as it is grouped with two play 5s and the Sonos Playbar. Listening to music is like hearing it for the first time and I find myself listening to new genres I never appreciated before. The bass response of this speaker is remarkable.

Awesome, if you have sound bar you must take the base.

Simply superb sound. Its amazing how sonos built these devices. No complaints at all. Couldn't get a better sound than this with a sound bar. First I purchased sonos playbar and ran with that for sometime and was not sure to take the sub or not. But wanted to see how the sound bar sounds with the sub. It was really great. I think without the base, soundbar has adjusted to made some changes to itself to deliver more base so the sound quality has deprecated. But once I added the Sub I can hear crystal clear sound. Not sure if the two individual speaker help how. Gotta try that though.

Sonos Sub

Was a bit apprehensive about ordering this sub due to the price and the fact that the actual speakers were on the smallish side. Not to worry! Bass performance is top-notch and the set-up is as easy as advertised. Very satisfied so far.

Pros:Strong,clean bass in a relatively small enclosure. Easy to set up and control with the Sonos app. Fit and finish is impressive.

Cons:Rather expensive.

Room shaking bass

Couldn't be happier with this, the sound is amazing. Adds tremendous low end to my Sonos setup which was previously just a Play 5. People can't believe the sound I get out of that combo. Highly recommended.

Sonos SUB

Awesome. I purchased the Sonos Playbar and hoped I wouldn't need to add the sub because of the price. The Playbar was great on it's own for TV but for music it sounded flat. I added the sub and WOW. I kept switching it on and off to test the difference and it really makes a big one. The sound is much deeper and richer and the vocals stand out more somehow. There is a major noticeable difference with movies too (especially with action sequences and musical accompaniment). It's simple to set up and the look is modern and sleek. The price is a little ridiculous in my opinion, but as long as this won't cause you any financial hardship, I highly recommend getting one.

Sonos Sub

If you are going Sonos for the TV, this is necessary. Only negative is it is way over the top expensive relative to other Sub's for other systems. Having said that, the setup is simple and the device looks great. Sleek and does not take up a lot of room. Once you get over the price, you won't be disappointed...

Sonos Sub

Very happy with this purchase. This Sonos Sub replaces a Polk Audio DSW PRO 600 which lasted for 2 years. Great sound, hope to get more than 2 years out of this unit. Great to have some bass back in the house.

Pros:Great sound...easy set-up

Cons:

Really kicks the playbar up a notch

It's kind of hard to review a subwoofer on its own, but I can say this, when coupled with the soundbar, it makes the sound so much more realistic than soundbar alone. When playing music it definitely adds a depth that is not there with the playbar alone.

Pros:Great sound. Easy setup.

Cons:Price.

Can't get enough of them!

This is my second purchase of a Sonos SUB. Excellent sound and quality at any level! I purchased my first Sonos Sub for the bedroom (matched with the Sonos 1 speakers) and found that I couldn't live without a Sonos system my studio (went with the Sonos 3 speakers this time - bigger area). Is a third Sonos SUB and some Sonos speakers in my future? You betcha! Easy setup; just follow the directions.

Sonos Sub

Great product! You may have to go into settings and pull down the bass a little. At the mid-point it generates a lot of bass. Be sure, as directed, to setup the play bar first. It will find the sub as a plug and play. Too easy. I really like the set. High Sonos quality.

Sonos Sub

Worth every penny. Simple set-up. Out of the box set-up time less than 10 minutes ( including reading directions)! Great addition to surround sound. Never go wrong with SONOS. Gray Crutchfield service/delivery, as always.

Sonos Sub

Great Product! This base is very deep and rich. Its design is perfect for anyone in an apartment or roommate setting as the design of the sub doesn't vibrate at all compared to other subs. Its base is very powerful at full blast so a great compliment to any sound system.

Sonos Sub

this is amazing . house shaking bass which is deep and solid. makes watching movie and listening to any kind of music to the next level. very pricy for what it is but since i am tied into the sonos eco system i will say that there is no better alternatives thayt I could find.

Pros:pretty
deep solid bass

Cons:pricy
if you turn it up it could shake down your house

Deep base

Rich, deep smooth base sound. Compared it to the latest Bose and in my opinion, just beat out the Bose. Not taking any credit away from Bose; I am a Bose fan. But the sound was just a bit better that the Bose sub

Pros:Quick and easy setup. Deep rich bass sound

Cons:None

Sonos Sub

We have two play5's, one play3 and one play1. This was the perfect addition to our setup. we have a semi-open floor plan on the first floor and the bass adds the low tones that we were missing. Highly recommended to add this to your existing sonos setup. you wont be disappointed.

Great With the PlayBar

I really don't know where to begin. It's just that awesome.
I've been looking at the sub and the playbar for a long time now after owning a Play 5 and a Play 3 for a few years now. I wish I had bought it sooner.
As soon as you open the box you realize that there is something different about Sonos. The quality is just a notch above what you're used to and the packaging helps cement that notion. Upon removing it from the box you quickly realize that it truly is built better than expected.
Setting up the Sub is about as simple as it gets. Plug it in, open the app and within minutes you're listening to music or TV. Simple.
Whether it's being used to add bottom end to some music or your TV shows, it adds a dimension that the playbar can't do on its own. Clean, powerful bass. It's the perfect compliment to the Playbar.

Pros:Quality and sound.

Cons:Price

Sonos Sub

Love the deep bass, easy plug & play hookup, all in all very happy with this purchase the one minor negative point is that the gloss black cabinet is a fingerprint magnet. I think a matte finish would be a better choice.

Massive Improvement

This was the last piece added to a setup that included 4 Play 5's. I really didn't think the sub would have that much to offer. I was wrong. I was able to retune the entire system, tweak the bass output and the difference in the way the system sounds is stunning.

Pros:Small
Convenient
Easy to install
Impressive sound

Cons:Autotune feature does not work due to ambient noise so I had to manually tune with 4 other Play 5 speakers. It was not "difficult" but the manual eq options are not easy to find in the software.
Oh, almost forgot - expensive.

Sonos Sub, Suberb!

Had this two weeks now and I am very pleased. I bought the sound bar a few days prior to buying this because others said the sound bar was enough. I didn't feel it was because I play music and watch TV. This was what I needed. It took two minutes perhaps less to set it up. The App make it easy. Now I want more Sonos speakers in my apartment.

Pros:Build quality, packaging, design, set up

Cons:Cant find any, I hope the finish lasts because its piano lacquer finish.

disenting voice

Quite disappointed. Sonos 5s are one of the best wireless speaker I have ever heard. Very satisfied with them. Adding a sub is a waste of money. It made no difference.
I just received mine...had to contact sonos technical dpt as at Cruthfield tech support were unable to help Me. I was helped by sonos to set it up. At the end a little better bass sound with some specific types of music. Nothing else. Better to invest the money in an additional sonos 5 second generation.

Pros:Design

Cons:Everything else.

Sonos Sub

Sub sounds surprisingly good. Unfortunately with the router I have from UVerse, it will not connect wirelessly with my Soundbar. I wish Sonos would figure this out as running a wire to my soundbar defeats the purpose of what originally attracted me to Sonos.

Sonos Sub

I am using this Sub with two paired (L/R) PLAY:3 speakers. The sub really fills out the lower end of the frequency spectrum and this is especially noticeable as volume increases. If you don't have room for the new PLAY:5, adding a Sub to PLAY:3s will definitely get you a complete sonic experience.

Pros:Ease of setup, tight bass, no rattles

Cons:Price

On it's side Subwoofer

Even though this is a beautiful subwoofer, you could put it any where in the room, the spot that worked for us was up high and out of sight. It worked great to lay it on it's side using the foot pads supplied. Its sounds Great!

Great Sub!

Paired with a Sonos Sound Bar (obviously) and couldn't be happier with the setup. Great sound, great design, and absolutely superb.

Pros:Sound
Adjustments
Design

Cons:None

Do I really need this?

Stiewe from Bay Area, CA on 12/13/2015

It's amazing the difference the sub does in our open living room/kitchen and dinning area. We have Klipsh ceiling speakers and to get decent song we had to turn up the volume higher then I really want to. With the Sub that issue was resolved and now we have even at low volume full sound.

Pros:Great sound, easy set up.

Cons:Definitely a heavy piece and slightly on the high side cost wise. Wish it was $499, then I would by one more.

Where Did hyou put it

A mark of an excellent sub is hearing the bass it without knowing exactly its coming from. You can barely tell from which direction the bass is coming from with this unit. Further, if you get real close to it, the bass becomes less noticeable. Somehow they figured out how to inundate your living room with glorious bass without over-thumping the area where the sub is placed. Beautifully Done!

Sonos Sub

I don't have the most discerning ear but I am into a good sound system that is easy to use and doesn't break my budget. Sonos covers all the bases for me. I have previously purchased two of their 3 series speakers and a sound bar. I was using the speakers for music and the sound bar for the TV. While the sound bar worked well with the TV, I was looking (listening) for a richer, deeper sound; and the Sonos Sub met my desire. Set up was quick and far easier than expected. I, especially liked the sub setup routine allowing me to set the bass response. I've even found that grouping the speakers, and the sound bar/sub was very simple and provides, for me, a full spectrum sound. Though it's not as wireless as my wife would want (each unit has a power chord) it's easy to hid the chords.

Pros:Ease of set up
Rich sound
Easy to couple with other Sonos components

Cons:Couldn't buy the entire system at once due to price.

Sonos Sub

Simple setup with amazing results. It took 1-2 minutes to setup. I even used it outside for a party (temporary setup) and I was blown away by the quality and ability to fill the area with rich sound. Easy to move around if needed.

Pros:All good

Cons:I would love to have a weather-proof version for outside but this is a dream and was clearly not the intent.

Holy cow

Holy cow this thing thumps. Feel like high school days with two 12" subs in a band pass box rocking in the truck of my car! Being able to lower the bass with the EQ is the best. I had to turn it down or the neighbors would think I opened up a strip club at the house.

Sonos Sub

Bought this sub after purchasing two play 3's. It made a huge different for me. Glad I made the purchase even though the price was a little steep. Planning on purchasing the playbar to create a 5.1 to replace my current Harmon Kardon SB30.

Pros:Very powerful. It added a lot just to the play 3's. I would imagine you wouldn't want to buy the playbar without the sub.

Cons:A little expensive but worth it with what you can do with the Sonos system as a whole.

Sonos SUB

I had only the Sonos Soundbar, which sounded quite good. But, when I added the SUB, it was amazing. Makes a world of difference.

Pros:Very good addition to overall sound and listening experience. Really will thump your chest when the artist calls for it. But, is not overbearing when the artists did not intend an accentuated bass part.

Cons:None other than the fact that i would have bought it a lot sooner if it was less expensive. But it is worth what I paid.

Den from Arizona on 3/13/2015

This item was purchased with the Sonos PlayvBar and performed as expected. It's a little pricey but compared to Bose's similar system the price is very competitive.

Pros:Great sound. Easy to setup.

Cons:A little pricey.

Powerful

I purchased this to go with the PlayBar, but ended up returning the Sub. It was overpowering the 16 x 16 room. When I turned the Sub down to prevent ear fatigue, there were low parts of the music I felt were missing compared to listening to the Playbar alone. If I had a larger room, I might have kept it.
It did definitely help with music on the two Play 1's I have, but I can't justify the high cost to pair with two small speakers. The Play 1's sound really, really good as they are, especially in stereo mode. Watching TV, I only noticed it during movies. It was not used much during normal broadcasts like talk shows, sports, etc. Which is really what I expected.
Warning, Sub gets loud. It gets loud enough that it makes me think my house will start falling apart similar to when you hear a rattling and buzzing car with a huge bass thumping down the road.

Pros:Really helps the low notes of the music when paired with Play 1's.

Cons:felt it overpowered the Playbar
Bass gets very deep, I noticed my ears would be sore after listening to music (some people my consider this a plus)

JT from Powhatan,Va on 2/28/2015

Sounds great and was super easy to hook up! Have had no problems as of yet with anything, only negative I would say is the price...

Compliments Your Playbar!

I can't say enough about Sonos and the incredible difference it has made to my music and TV listening experience. I purchased the Sub along with the Playbar after having tested their sound capability at a local high fidelity store. The Sub adds nice deep and rich tones and rounds out your listening experience. If you don't have the means to purchase both at the same time, the Playbar is quite remarkable. However, save up and add the Sub soon because it does make a difference.

fantastic addition to the Sonos Playbar

I was a bit hesitant to order another product after having already bought a Playbar, but I say if you're going to invest in Sonos, do it right. The Playbar by itself was a very nice product, clear sound, but the sub really brings out the boom. It's not just hammering volume, but really complements it perfectly. Lovely for movies, music, and sports. And I find that since I got the Sonos I play to the music on my Iphone much more wirelessly through Sonos. Great item.

The Best in Bass

The SONOS SUB picks up even the softest bass so that you're listening to the full sound - it's amazing. You don't have make the walls and windows vibrate, but the SUB is quite capable if that's your pleasure. The controls allow you to adjust the blend of bass exactly the way you like it.

Pros:The overall design and audio engineering on this product is outstanding; well worth the price.

Great sub

Coupled this sub with the Sonos Playbar. The combination sounds fantastic. The sub is not too large, allowing you to fit it in discreet locations. While small, I actually have the EQ set to half power as to not disturb my neighbors. This sub has plenty of power and is more than capable of filling a 1000 sq ft area where it's located. Highly recommend using with Sonos Playbar.

Great product

When I received this sub I was pleasantly surprised how havy it was and how very well made this sub. I like the design and most important how substantial this sub has improve the sound of my sonos system. As any sonos component it was breeze to install and use, 5 star as usual with sonos. I would definitely recommend to any one who is serous about music sound and want to create truly amazing music experience. This sub is not cheap but as always you get what you paid for and I have no regrets.

Pros:Great sound beutifull design very well made

Cons:I couldn't find one

Sonos Sub

I have to admit I was a bit hesitant to buy a subwoofer for $700 but WOW, am I glad I did! The sound bar itself is in a class of its own and with the sub added it is in a class of its own. I also have multiple Play 3's and music sounds great paired with this sub.

Pros:Sounds Great!
Versatile

Cons:None that I can find.

Needed if You Have PlayBar

Have a Playbar for my TV in a NYC apartment. TV speakers needed help - while the playbar adds some depth to the sound, it is hindered by lack of bass. The Sonos Sub cures this in spades. Its big (3 shoeboxes) and heavy but gives off no vibration. Helps with TV sound, Movie sound and music through the playbar. My only reservation is that the playbar itself needs this in order to do the proper job. So, the Sub is good - the playbar is OK

Pros:Attractive; no vibration, very good sonicaly

Cons:None with the sub; some with the Playbar. As noted above, this is pretty necessary if you have the playbar and its a good piece of equipment.

Excellent Product

Received the SUB about a week after receiving the soundbar and two Play 1s. This delay led to an instant appreciation of the bass enhancement provided by the unit. It was (and is) spectacular! The "tuning" of the output was extremely easy and allowed me to adjust the bass level for the room and my ear. Until I installed the SUB I was not convinced that I "needed" it. The bass from the soundbar and the Play 1s was not bad. However, I have been completely won over to the benefits of the SUB. It really rounds out the whole sound system.
When this system was presented to me by the sales representative I was blown away by the concept of the WiFi design. However, the cost of SONOS systems was almost prohibitive. The versatility of the design won out and I decided to try out the system. I am extremely happy with my decision and can't wait to add more components.

Awesome sub!

This sub definitely enhanced my sonos speaker system. I have an open floor plan and I can sense the bass from the sub throughout my kitchen and family room. I'm glad I ordered a week after I bought the playbar; as oppose to waiting a longer time. You won't regret it. I like the fact that you can control the bass for the sub through the app, as oppose to going to the sub and messing with a turn knob.

Pros:Great sound, from low to high...truly enhances music-listening and tv-watching experience, awesome that it can be placed anywhere (as long as power is connected to it)

A very good enhancerment

I was happy with the PLAYBAR, but had read additional reviews on the SUB and decided to give it a try. The result was a much enhanced audio experience; the SUB is not overwhelming (and is configurable anyway) but really brings out the low end in movies, TV, and music.

Very HAppy

Recently removed my home theater consisting of Definitive Technology speakers and an Epik Empire Subwoofer. Decided to go the Sonos route. Purchased a Sonos Amp and Play 5, was extremely happy, so I purchased the Playbar and Sub. I tried different positions and ended up placing the sub under my chair, with no noticeable sound difference. I'm blown away by the sound quality of the playbar and sub. This was just what I needed.

Pros:Small, hidden, great bass even in a large room

Cons:None

Add clarity to the Sound Bar

After having the Sonos sound bar for about four months, I decided to add the Sub. The Sonos Sound Rar was the third such device I had attached to my TV, and it was far better than the other brand names. The Sub has improved the clarity of the sound from the sound bar, and was worth adding

Pros:Much better sound from the TV and the Internet radio broadcasted over the Sonos system.

Great Addition

I added the Sonos Sub in a room where I have two Play:5s paired together. While I have always enjoyed my paired Play:5s, adding the Sub really seemed to improve the performance and sound from the Play:5s. I am truly enjoying the Sonos listening experience but now even more with the Sub.

Pros:Improved listening experience
Easy set-up

Cons:Expensive

Sonos Bridge, Dock, Sub

This system is easy to set up and use. Ziggy in Customer Service did great. Expensive, but the neighbors down the street get to enjoy my play list. Halloween in the neighborhood will not be the same this year! I matched this with a pair of Definitive AW6500. Loud, Clear and Easy to set up and use. Worth the $$$!

Pros:Loud and Clear. Easy to use and set up.

Cons:Wireless Sub is expensive, a pain to lug in and out of the house onto the deck. Have to reconnect every time to the unit. But once hooked up? WOW!!!!!

Features

Sonus Sub 1: The Sonus Sub 1 is a wireless powered subwoofer, designed to
add deep bass (down to 25 Hz) to your Sonos listening experience. The Sub works
with any amplified Sonos player, including the
Play:1,
Play:3, &
Play:5, plus the Sonos
Connect:Amp
&
Playbar (all sold separately). It does not work with un-amplified Sonos
players, such as the Connect (ZP90).

Woofer & Amplifier Design: The Sonus Sub 1 features two force-canceling speakers (3" x 6" race-track shaped drivers) positioned
face-to-face to provide deep, rich bass with no resonance from the cabinet. The
speakers are powered by two Class-D digital amplifiers, perfectly tuned to match
the speakers. The speakers are mounted into a unique cabinet that features an
acoustic slot and dual acoustic ports that encircle the enclosure to enhance the
Sub's performance.

Wireless Connection: The Sonus Sub 1 can be associated with any amplified Sonos
powered speaker or the Sonos Playbar. It Works on your home
WiFi network with any 802.11b/g, 2.4GHz broadcast capable router. It also works
on SonosNet, a secure AES encrypted, peer-to-peer wireless mesh network
dedicated exclusively for your Sonos system to reduce WiFi interference.

Setup: Once
you have positioned the Sub in the room, you can press the Join button on the
side of the Sub in order for the system to recognize it. The system
automatically adjusts the audio settings to perfectly balance the Sub and the
paired Sonos component for best performance. All of the filter settings, active
equalization, and time alignment are done digitally through a state-of-the-art
Digital Signal Processor (DSP). During setup, you will be prompted, through the
Sonos Controller software, to set the subwoofer's level and phase. In some
cases, you will be prompted to select the size of the stereo speakers (compact,
bookshelf/ceiling, or floor) connected to the amplified player. If you move the
Sub to another room, you can easily reconfigure the audio and room association
settings.

Note: Make sure all of your Sonos components have the
latest software update installed.

Ethernet & AC Power: The Sub has only two connections, both located on the
bottom of the enclosure: the power cord connection, and a single Ethernet port
(RJ-45) for connecting the Sub to a wired home network.

Placement: Out of the box, the Sonus Sub 1 is designed to stand upright
on the integrated rubber feet. You can also lay the sub horizontally on its
side, if desired. Four self-adhesive felt feet are provided, if you choose to
mount the Sub on its side. A guide for placing the felt feet on the Sub is
included.

Home Network Requirements: To access Internet music
services, Internet radio, and any digital music stored on your computer or
Network-Attached Storage (NAS) device, your home network must meet the following
requirements:

High-speed DSL/Cable modem, or fiber-to-the-home broadband connection
for proper playback of Internet-based music services. If your Internet
service provider only offers Satellite Internet access, you may experience
playback issues due to fluctuation in download rates.

If your modem is not a modem/router combination and you want to take
advantage of Sonos' automatic online updates, or stream music from an
Internet-based music service, you must install a wireless router in your
home network. If you don't have a wireless router, you will need to purchase
and install one before setting up your system.

You will need the Sonos Controller application for Apple iOS 9.0+ and
Android OS 4.3+, or the Sonos Controller software program for Windows PC
7-up and Mac OS x 10.10-up.

Connect at least one Sonos component to your home network router using
an Ethernet cable, and then you can add other Sonos components wirelessly.
Or setup your Sonos component wirelessly via WiFi without any hardwire
connection.

For best results, you should connect the computer or NAS drive that
contains your personal music library collection to your home network router
using an Ethernet cable.

Make sure all of your Sonos components have the latest software update
installed.

Note: Although Sonos is compatible with most networking
equipment, some network devices are incompatible. Usually when networking
hardware does not work with Sonos, it's because it lacks support for the
network protocols that Sonos uses to operate, like UPnP, STP, and SMB/CIFS.

be aware that the majority of this list is made up of older networking
equipment, but may still exist as part of a home network.

Love the Sonos system. I have several of their speaker all over the house. I have a large flat screen TV in my living room with a Playbase, which works great... just looking to take it up another notch with the Sub. Been waiting for a Black Friday deal to pull the trigger on this purchase.
[ TOM Nov 24, 2018 ]

I've got Sonos throughout the house ... with both wireless speakers and using the amp for wired speakers in a few rooms. Adding the Sonos Sub rounds out the home theater set-up. Have been thoroughly pleased with everything from Sonos. Problem-free.

[ Rodney Oct 27, 2018 ]

Paired with three Sonos 3's in a one bedroom apartment. Fantastic sound! The sub really adds some bottom end to an already great sounding system. It's an expensive addition but well worth it in my opinion.

[ Jack Dec 09, 2016 ]

The Playbar and the Sub are reviewed as stellar components. I already have a Connect and a couple of kitchen Play 1's, so this will improve my TV/movie sound and also allow me to play my music in the TV room. The flexibility is really amazing.
[ Dennis Dec 09, 2016 ]

I have used Sonos speakers for several years now, as well as buying them as gifts our adult children. Everyone uses them ( I haven't seen one in a box in the basement). Easy setup and updates, sound great and look great!

White sub to pair with white Sonos one. If you want your speaker to stand out, white is the color to go. If you want it blend in the back ground, get black.

Sonos has an amazing product, this sub is being paired with the white playbase. I own 5 Sonos speakers in my household and I have never been dissatisfied.
[ Antonio Aug 04, 2017 ]

I don't think that tis would be a problem. No sharp edges and nothing to really grab on to.
[ JOHN B Jun 21, 2017 ]

Looking at the opening in the center of the sub, the speakers are on each side inside that opening. Although it would be difficult, small hands could get in there. If you could look at one in a store like Best Buy it might help you to make a decision.
[ Dennis Jun 20, 2017 ]

Although my kids are now older, I don't see that a curious two-year-olds could damage the speaker. The cones are actually recessed slightly inside of the center hole, so a little one would really have to get their whole hand in. Even so, I reached in myself just out of curiosity and it doesn't seem to be very fragile. I love the sound out of this speaker.
[ CHRISTOPHER J Jun 20, 2017 ]

Yes, the Sonos SUB can pair up with each of your Sonos:Connect Amp's. You can simply press the "Join" button on the side of the Sub in order to sync with a specific Connect:Amp in your home; and then you can reconfigure the audio and room association settings from the Sonos Controller App if you move the Sub or pair it with another Connect:Amp. I hope that helps! My bio: http://www.crutchfield.com/Support/Bio.aspx?bio=159[ Larry Sep 18, 2016 ] Staff
